Chapter 10: Refining Weapons
The Xu family is in a state of flux. If the Xu family loses its smithy, the status of the Xu family will plummet to a second-rate family, which will soon be annexed by the other three families.
Xu Yilin had done him a favor and was the son-in-law of the Xu family, so he couldn't just stand by and watch.
The ordinary way of cultivating refiners is too slow, and by the time the Xu family regains its breath, it will have long been destroyed.
Once the market share was lost, it would be difficult to snatch it back.
"Auntie, you're joking, I've dreamed of becoming a weapon trainer master."
Business was bad, all the refining masters were resting, including the apprentices, only Hu Shi insisted on coming over every day, based on this heart alone, it was worth cultivating Liu Wu Xie.
"Now there is an opportunity in front of you, I can help you become a generation of weapon refining masters."
After all, Liu Wu Xie couldn't stay in Cang Lan City for the rest of his life, the Ling Yun Immortal Realm was his goal.
"Auntie or don't tease me, what do you want to refine, I'll help you."
Hu Shi listened to it as a joke, the last time Liu Wu Xie came, he made a mess that the refining workshop couldn't open for a few days, how would he dare to let him refine weapons again.
Liu Wu Xie didn't force him, in everyone's eyes, he had always been a waste of space, if he were anyone else, he probably wouldn't believe it either, actions were the best proof.
"Hu Shi, palm fire!"
Steeply, Liu Wu Xie had an additional indescribable aura on his body, his eyes became incomparably determined, taking out a piece of meteorite iron and throwing it into the fire furnace.
Hu Shi didn't dare to be slow, his right hand pumped the bellows, the black ore inside the furnace emitted a scorching fire, the temperature was strangely high, so he had to take off his outer clothes.
To refine a weapon, the first step is to dissolve the meteorite iron, pour it into the mold and forge it.
Refining weapons is divided into three stages, the lowest level is called ten refinement, for some common implements, manufacturing rough, such as some hoes, plows and rakes and other common civilian tools.
The second is a hundred refinement, the difficulty is higher, a thousand hammers a hundred refinement is the meaning, exercise out of the weapon, sharp, toughness is far higher than ten refinement, the requirements of meteorite iron, the same extremely high.
The most difficult is the thousand refinement, the entire Canglan City, there is not a single refiner who can achieve the thousand refinement technique.
After a hundred refinement, refined iron molding, and then want to dissolve, very difficult, even if the dissolution is successful, after pouring into the mold, the hardness of the enhancement, ordinary people can not hammer, to create the desired form.
Most of the weapons on the market are stuck at the 100 refinement stage, which is a watershed.
Xu family has a unique refining method, ordinary hundred refining weapons, can make them sharper, which is the main reason why the Xu family weapons have been selling well.
Ordinary Hundred Refinement Weapons, Liu Wu Xie couldn't look at them, do it yourself, of course, to build the best long knife.
Meteorite iron dissolving still need a period of time, Liu Wu Xie walked to the mold, most of them are swords, not the model he wants, need to re-carve a new copy of the mold by himself.
Take out the tools, according to the brain drawn in advance, spend an incense stick time, carving out a long knife mold, at this time, the meteorite iron in the furnace dissolved almost, red iron, splash some iron juice, fell on the edge of the furnace, Hu Shih's arm, many burns are thanks to these iron juice.
"Auntie, there is too much of this meteorite iron, enough to be able to build three long knives."
I had heard that Liu Wu Xie was a notorious loser, today I saw it, and it was true, so much meteorite iron melted away, causing Hu Shi a heartache, it was more than enough to build three weapons.
"This you don't understand, all the full process of my refining, you have to record it all, it will help you in the future."
Pour all the iron juice into the mold, into the cool water, quickly cooled down, put on the ox horn iron pier, Liu Wu Xie naked, after the quenching liquid soaked, the flesh body strength, holding a hundred pounds of sledgehammer, Hu Shi holding ten pounds of small hammer.
"Da da da da ......"
One person at a time, constantly smashing on the knives that had yet to be molded.
After pounding a hundred times, put the knife into the furnace, continue to calcine, knead, pull out and continue to pound.
Over and over again, Hu Shi from the initial disbelief, to shock, numbness, has not been able to describe the mood of the moment, the aunt's refining art, with whom to learn?
Half an hour passed ......
One hour passed ......
Liu Wu Xie didn't know how to get tired, from more than a meter long knife, it had been compressed into about half a meter, the precision increased tenfold.
"Auntie, we can't continue hammering, we've already exceeded a hundred refinements, if we continue like this, the knives won't be able to be molded and will definitely be scrapped."
Hu Shih was heartbroken over those pieces of good meteorite iron, it was too bad to waste them, it was already over a hundred refinements, continuing to pound it would not make much sense.
Xu was a famous refiner, over the years, he was also trying to see if he could make a new breakthrough after exceeding a hundred refinements, and they all failed.
"Don't worry, I know in my heart!"
Continuing to throw the half-finished knives into the furnace, Hu Shi had no choice but to pump the bellows, without an open flame, the black ore managed to snort, and the knives once again became red.
"Hooshi, eat this."
The next thing was the most important, continuously hammering for an hour, Hu Shi's physical strength was extremely severely depleted.
Taking out a Heavenly Spirit Pill, letting him swallow it, the next moment can't be stopped, the slightest mistake, all the efforts in the previous period, go down the drain.
"This is ...... what kind of elixir is this, good strong aroma."
Hu Shi which can afford to eat such a high level of elixir, face showed a trace of surprise, the aunt in front of him, let him somewhat unintelligible.
"Just eat it."
Liu Wu Xie also took out one, a mouthful of it, the depleted true qi, instantly recovered, the strength was full, there was a vague tendency to break through the sixth level of the Houtian, this was a good phenomenon.
The true qi was constantly depleted, and after compression, the purity was constantly increasing, Liu Wu Xie was hesitant to break through the realm, to squeeze all the potential out of this body.
A mouthful of Heavenly Spirit Pill, Hu Shi's body was like bathing in soft sunlight, his body was soothed, a clicking sound came from his body, breaking through to the Houtian Sixth Heaviness, this made him overjoyed, a small pill shortened his months of hard work.
He had been stuck at the fifth level of Houtian for a long time, he had never had the chance, it was considered a waterfall, without the Heavenly Spirit Pill, he would have broken through in a day or two at most.
"Thank you, Auntie!"
Hu Shi bent down and saluted, almost kneeling down, the respect he had shown him just now, out of the master-servant distinction, this time it came from the heart.
"Next we have to continuously forge for an incense stick time, we can't stop for a moment, I was worried that your stamina couldn't keep up, the chances of breaking through to the Houtian Sixth Heavenly Level are even greater."
After explaining to Hu Shi, the Houtian realm to create a thousand refined weapons is very difficult, Liu Wu Xie intends to inscribe spiritual patterns, so that the weapons will incorporate spirituality.
The Houtian realm uses ordinary weapons, Hundred Refinements mostly, when they reach the innate realm, their true qi skyrockets, the mortal weapons can't carry too much true qi, they need a spirit weapon to support it, no one in Canglan City can refine a spirit weapon, only in the Imperial City are there refiners who can do it.
Each spirit weapon, was worth a lot of money, there were no more than five spirit weapons in the entire Canglan City.
The knife turned crimson, Liu Wu Xie quickly drew it out, hand holding a carving knife, on top of the blade, carving a strange pattern, Hu Shi's whole person was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Liu Wu Xie was like being possessed by a god resisting his body, every action, running in the clouds and flowing in the water, every time the knife technique fell, the knife left a lifelike mark on the knife, and a faint spirituality emanated from the long knife that had yet to be molded.
As an apprentice refiner, of course he knew the importance of spirituality, being able to refine a weapon with spirituality was enough to sweep across the entire Canglan City.
Hu Shi had the urge to worship, his right hand emitted a tremor, and the hammer in his hand, almost fell and smashed his feet.
"Begin!"
Houtian fifth level, true qi is limited, Liu Wu Xie can carve up to ten spirit patterns, it is already the limit, if you want to reach the level of spirit weapon, you need to carve a hundred spirit patterns to be able to do it, his realm is too low, he can't support it until the end, so he has to do it.
The hammer in Hu Shi's hand slammed down hard, a strong force of recoil, almost lifted the hammer in his hand off the ground, after adding the spirit pattern, the semi-finished blade seemed to be countless times harder.
Liu Wu Xie's hand of a hundred kilograms of sledgehammer, ruthlessly smashed down, fire splashed everywhere, Hu Shi hurriedly collected his mind, did not dare to think about it too much, and devoted himself to refining the weapon.
This is his so far, refining the best a weapon, as long as successful, his refining art, will be a qualitative leap, become a master refiner are possible.
Da da da da ......
A series of dense sounds rang out in the refining room, no one paid attention to this place.
Liu Wu Xie's long sword was at a critical moment when a group of uninvited guests came to the refining workshop, a group of people were aggressive.
"Call out your steward, your Xu family even sold us inferior weapons, causing a few of our brothers to die in the mountain range, if your Xu family doesn't give an account today, we'll smash the Weapon Refining Workshop."
There were ten people in total, each fierce and vicious, everyone's strength wasn't low, a clear color of Houtian 8th gravity, they should be some kind of mercenary group in Canglan City.
They traveled on the edge of life and death all year round, entering the mountain ranges to hunt demonic beasts, obtaining inner pills to earn gold coins, 30% of the Xu family's weapons, sold to these mercenary groups, who consumed a great deal of their weapons.
"I am the steward here, how can I help you."
Dong Changliang stood up and hurriedly greeted him, the other boys got up and opened their sleepy eyes.
"What kind of a thing are you, let your Xu family's say-so come and talk."
A slap on Dong Changliang's face, nonchalant, a slap that sent him flying, smashing into the counter, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, half of his face swollen, this group of people are also too overbearing, come up and hurt people.
